The article that my partner and I was given called "Bubba Gump Shirm Co, restaurant review: A cavernous, deep-fried, hokey simulacrum"

*What additional information can you find out about the restaurant from its Website?
I found there are this restaurant's branches around the world (of course Japan too). And in this restaurant there are quiz time while eating and waiters enlivening the atomosphere. Since there is souvenir shop, people can buy original goods in this restaurant.


*What did you learn about the values of the reviewer and cultural values through this review?
I thought the reviewer is very unique because he made a place for break up a criterion. People usually judge the restaurant by its cleanness, food, or the attitude of waitress so I thought unique criteria makes review more interesting.


*Based on the review, would you like to try this restaurant?
I've never watched the movie, Forrest Gump but I'm very interested in the restaurant that was made by the image of the movie. This restaurant is expensive but I think we can enjoy with friends. This place is very good for the child's party as the reviewer said. The reviewer criticized this restaurant but I want to judge for myself.





The video that my partner and I were given to evaluate on is called "Omaha Restaurant Spoofs Negative Yelp Reviews"

*Is the review neutral or partisan?
This review is neutral. The video introduced the good point and bad point of this restaurant fairly.
Owners, chefs and managers accept the bad review positively so I didn't feel this situation is serious.


*What is revealed about the reviewer and the culture?
These days people can criticize and see criticism easily on the internet like Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube.And some people like negative review. So I thought people should not believe bad reviews easily and examine closely.


*Notice whether the voices of the speakers are monotonous or have a pleasing emphasis on certain words and phrases.
How does that affect your understanding and enjoyment of it?
They speak little bit fast for me and it was difficult to understand whole story but they looked like they're having fun talking. The speakers were sometimes monotonous and sometimes her voice was modulated.
